Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

Chapter 220 Three government orders, Du Yan's heart is bitter

Li Chengqian's performance today surprised Du Yan, and a bad premonition surged in his heart.

But Li Shimin has already called his name, so he can only bite the bullet and speak.

"Your Majesty, the crown prince's thinking is in the right direction, and there are many things to note, but..."

"Just what?"

Li Shimin asked directly, without giving Du Yan time to think.

Du Yan said helplessly: "The general direction is correct, but many small points are still worthy of discussion. Although there are many places that need to be streamlined in the official system of the Tang Dynasty, there are also many practical problems, which cannot be generalized."

Du Yan's words were not without reason.

When the Tang Dynasty was founded, many people were rewarded for their meritorious service, and many upstarts were born.

These people are in high positions, and the descendants will naturally become officials under the shade.

According to the current talent selection system, such a general trend is unstoppable.

It is precisely because of this reason that there are too many government personnel. Regarding such a situation, Li Chengqian is the prince who dares to speak, but Du Yan is helpless.

Li Shimin nodded, and he also understood the reason.

This was the problem when Li You mentioned the imperial examination before, and it is still the problem now.

However, the pressure brought by the Turks is too great now. Once these aristocratic families are angered, he can't guarantee that these aristocratic families will not lure the Turks into the customs and cause chaos in the Central Plains.

It's just that Li Shimin dare not gamble now.

Thinking of this, the corner of Li Shimin's mouth was also helpless, but this expression was fleeting, he said: "Du Shangshu, it is imperative to streamline the bureaucracy, if you can't make up your mind about this matter, let the young people try it. "

Then he turned his head to look at Li Chengqian and said, "Prince, the matter of streamlining officials is handed over to you, are you willing?"

Li Chengqian was overjoyed, he never thought that what he originally wanted to show off in front of the little sister of the Su family would bring him such a big harvest.

He immediately knelt down to thank him, expressing that he would live up to Li Shimin's high expectations.

Then Li Shimin said loudly: "Let Li Chengqian be appointed as the special envoy to govern the officials, and inspect the school officials."

"Li Ke, the king of Shu, was appointed the governor of Yizhou. Because he was young, he became a vassal after the crowning ceremony!"

"Secretary Cheng Su Quan is appointed as the governor of Yizhou Metropolitan Government, and assists the governor of Yizhou Metropolitan Government in governing Shu."

Three orders in a row were issued, and everyone in the court was shocked.

Whether it was those who supported the prince Li Chengqian or those who hoped that the king of Shu Li Ke could do something, all the people present were very happy.

The special envoy for managing officials means that Li Chengqian can cultivate his cronies in the selection of officials, and his future court status will be more stable.

The governor of Yizhou is the ten prefectures of Yi, Mian, Jian, Jia, Ling, Ya, Mei, Meng, Qiang, and Qiong, and the governors of the three prefectures of Duyi, Nanning, and Hui. The largest one under the jurisdiction of many Dudufu.

Receiving such a large reward is also of great benefit to him for the cultivation of power.

If Li Ke can really work hard in these places, he may not be able to use local forces to counter the central government.

Although the two princes are young now, the pattern of fighting against courtesy has already formed.

Apart from those who supported the two princes, many people present were in a good mood.

These people are all former Sui veterans, and Su Quan is from the grandson of Su Wei.

Li Shimin used Su Xu a lot before, and now Su Quan is also being used a lot, which means that Li Shimin has expressed his attitude towards these old officials of the Sui Dynasty.

Although Su Wei was despised by Li Shimin's father and son because of his flattery to the emperor in the later period, as long as he has real talents and learning, and he is dedicated to serving the country and the people, then Li Shimin will reuse him regardless of past suspicions.

But some families are happy and some are sad, Du Yan's heart is heavy at this moment.

Today's morning court, although he also achieved his goal, but after thinking about it carefully, he did not fully achieve it.

Although he pulled Changsun Wuji from the position of prime minister, it seemed that there was no loss for Changsun Wuji.

On the contrary, he was relieved a lot from the busy daily government affairs, and he could train subordinate officials to serve him.

Although he succeeded in making Li Ke the governor of Yizhou today without having to go to the domain in person, the long history in the plan was not satisfactory.

On the contrary, Su Tan took office at the suggestion of the prince, and it is very likely that he will be a nail nailed to Li Ke's side, so that Li Ke will not dare to move rashly in the future.

And in order to achieve these goals, the price Du Yan paid today was painful.

First, Yushitai changed hands, which made him lose his initiative in speech.

Although each of these censors currently maintains freedom of thought, as long as Du Yan's opinion has no principled issues, many censors will still give him face and follow suit.

After Wei Zheng came to power, the situation was completely out of control.

The second is the fall of the Ministry of officials.

Although now Li Shimin took Du Yan's face into consideration, he only gave Li Chengqian a review of the Ministry of Officials, that is, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials in name, to facilitate his activities.

But the power to appoint officials fell into the hands of Li Chengqian invisibly.

Even if Du Yan appoints his cronies, he is likely to be kicked out by Li Chengqian in the name of streamlining officials.

For such a result, Du Yan could only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

In the end, Du Yan blamed Li Youshi for everything that went wrong today.

He felt that if Li Youban's reading hadn't made him embarrassed, Li Shimin would definitely not be like this.

"Hmph, Li You, you made me look bad, and I won't let you be so happy!"

However, Li You didn't know Du Yan's thoughts at all. He was stopped by Kong Yingda as soon as he stepped into court.

"His Royal Highness Chu, what is your intention in selecting the young man this time?"

Facing Li You, Kong Yingda resolutely gave up the word companion reading.

Other people might still believe Li Shimin's words, but Kong Yingda definitely wouldn't.

Facing the insider, Li You didn't hide anything. He said, "Confucius, to tell you the truth, I also want to do some educational experiments, and I want to cultivate some different talents."

"Different talents?"

Kong Yingda's mind was a little lost.

In his opinion, talent is nothing more than the way of civil and martial arts, and Wen Sheng is his ancestor.

Although Li You's educational philosophy was novel before, it was also within the scope of the Tao of Confucius and Mencius, which made Kong Yingda a little puzzled for a while.

Li You smiled slightly and said, "Confucius, what I want to teach this time is called science. This question is a bit complicated, why don't we go back home together, and I will explain it to you slowly."

For this group of young men, Li You intends to teach modern science with modern educational concepts, laying the foundation for Datang to establish an academy of sciences and develop industries in the future.

Of course, not only research talents, but also management talents are what he needs.

Li You can foresee that in the future, under the research and development of collective wisdom, more modern workshops will appear in Datang.

Not only in Chang'an, but also in Luoyang, Yangzhou, and Chengdu, there will be new workshops. Compared with the researchers in the laboratory, the gap in management personnel is even greater.

Although Kong Yingda was still in the fog, she followed Li You into the car curiously.
